Prof. f. K. Carpenter, dean of the ter
~ritorial school of mines, was among the
arrivals from Rapid on Monday. The
object of his visit was to inspect the
mineral III Of this section of the
Hills, to which he directed his attention
very clio sely until Friday morning,
when circumstances requiring his pres
sence at the school Of mines, he re-
turned to Rapid. In addition to a large
number Of tin locations, he personally
examined, and took samples from more
than twenty different gold locations of
refractory character, with a view of sub
hitting them TO careful tests at the
school. He was most favorably inn
pressed with this section In a mineral
view fairly astonished at the magni-
tude of the mineral belt, and will prob
ably give it further attention in the
early future.
1t is estimated that the tin contained
in the float rocks on a Tenderfoot hill,
and which are confined to an area Of
only two hundred yards square, would
command, at a low estimate, $4,000 in
the eastern markets. Many of these
huge boulders, weighing as much as ten
tons each, give an assay Of 80 per cent
tin stone. The boulders, which have
been detached from the lodes higher up
on the mountain, are lying exposed to
view, and have been closely inspected
by hundreds of people, who unite in
pronouncing them the richest speci-
mems of tin ore in the world and yet
there is an expert (?) extant, who would
have Us believe, that ifthe tin contained
in this ore was pure silver, it would not
pay for reduction a statement which
can only be believed when human
credulity rises supreme I'VE all the
unmistakable evidences of stern reality,
and the power Of reason, and mans
senses shall have become overwhelmed
and entirely dissipated by accumulated
and local prejudices.

THE Las Vegas Optic speculases as follows: Annexation to the United States of the northern states of Mexico promises to become practicable through the new schemes of capitalists. A French syndicate has purchased vast area of land in the state of Chihushus, sixty miles long by six miles wide: French and Belgian immigrants are to be settled on it. Another large body of land has been acquired by an American syndicate and is to be coloniEed by American and European immigrants, Already the syndicate has laid out @ town adjoining Deming, in the territory. The towns will run together and the international boundary line may soon be in the center of the rivals. Then msy come trouble which may lead to war and conquest Of Chihushus and with it Coshils, Sonora and Lower California.

As Congress meets on Monday it is not amiss to recall the fsct ths; Secretary Manning states that on the 4th of March, 1885, when he took charge of the treasury, there was s37s. .l66. .35S cash on hand. One of the fiercest bat. tie cries of the Democracy in 1884 was that the Republicans were ''hosrdinR four hundred million dollars in the treasury" which should "be taken out and distributed among the people" Now, after two years and nine months of Democratic rule there is S244,291, ,lS2 more in the treasury than there was when the Republicans went out of pow CT.

TIE Democracy are on the outlook for @ tail to their presidential ticket. Cleve- land will undoubtedly be the presiden- tisl nominee and politicians are inclin- sd to the belief that the tail end will be found to best wsg in Indiana. All efforts to unite conflicting interests and center on Voorhees,, have proven un- svailing and 6 new man must be taken up. Col. Chss. Denby, United States Minister to China, has been trotted out as possible candidate for the vice pres- idency. and the Indiana democracy IS now yelling itself hoarse in his behalf. His sentiments on the main political is sues of the dsy are unknown, but this counts largely in his favor and is the prime cause of the unsnimity, ss each of the several sections of the hoosier bourbons. foupdly imsgines that he thinks as they do.

NOW BEN BUTLER GOT RICH ss1ns Men of To-day May do Likevis'
 ff They Follow Advice Given

General R. F. Butler being asked fol sune suggestions on gaining success, stated that when he was Q young lawyer, practicing in Lowell, Mass., bank pres tdent advised him to take bis little de- posit and buy real estate, from which be could hR deriving some revenue. The general said that he had but little money and was uncertain as to his future.
 "NeceT mind" said tbe bank presi- dent, Ego to the next public auction of real estate, bid of al lot with building d some kind on it, pay down vbat money you have and give your promis. sofy notes fer the balance. You will come out all right"
 General Butler says this edvice was good. When a man has obligated him. self, by his notes, to pay money at a cer- tain time, it inclines him to economy. He followed the advice, and in time be- came the owner of several parcels of val uabie real estate in Lowell.
 Two classes win not be likely to heed such advice-the improvident and the over-cautious. The latter will be apt 10 say: "It would be all right but for those dreadful promissory notes. They are always running on and if 8 man falls sick they do not wait for him to get we'll"
 There Is this danger, of course, but one can make no business venture without some risk, and with the knowledge 9c- quired by recent investigations o4 the cause of most ordinary ailments, and the means of cure, one runs little risk from that source. It is now known that most of the common ailments hove their ori- gin in deranged kidneys. They are the chief blood purifiers of the system and when disordered 8 breaking down some where is soon inevitable, because the poison, which in their healthy condition is eliminated, is carried through the en- tire system.

 c. b. Dewey, @ successful man, presl- dent of the Johnston Harvester OOm- pany, Batavia, N. Y., gives his exPn- ence as follows;
 In 1882 my health was failing, my head pained me constantly, my appetite was uncertain, could not sleep soundly. I attribute this to the extreme pressure of business cares, but l grew worse, and finally vas confined to my bed for two months. Ii seemed as though l would

It has cured zne. I consider it a valuable remedy and can highly recommend it.
 Young men have but to use ordinary prudence, and when any derangement occurs If they use the same means as did this successful business man, they may feel a constant assurance of their ability to carry to successful conclusion all or dinary business projects, including the care of their promissory notes when doe-

THE Secretary of the Interior in his recent report on the Apsohes in Arizona, coments somewhat adversely on General Miles proposition to divide the Apaches among the various military reservations, "The Indisns," he says, were gathered upon their present reservation at gres. expense, and in pursuance of @ policy then considered best for their proper management snd advancement. To again scatter the various bands to diff ferent localities involves the establish
 ment of several more agencies, the main tensnce of which. would no doubt, con- eidersbly increase the expenditure of the Indian service in that locality. In view of these things I have not felt satisfied to take any final action upon the proposition until I could gather such information through official reports from the representives of this Depart ment as will enable me to fully consider every phase of the subject

CoPPKR-The boom in metals has made further progress during the past week, and nearly the entire list of the principal metals has now shared in the improvement ID prices. The movement
 is conducted by powerful combination
 in Europe, who have managed the whole
 business in @ very skillful manner. Chili
 bars were first of all driven up to price
 which could not have been anticipated, and we had again 8 repetition of the state of affairs which was brought about in 1873, when consumers copper was con siderably cheaper than the more specu- lGtive Chilli bars. This peculiar oondi- ton of things has now, however, nearly disappeared, and during the last few days large amount of business has
 been done in all the finer grades of cop
 per, which gre found to be getting rather scarce. Ohili bars, which closed last
 week at e5S lbs. cash, ranged on Mon day from e61 10 e62 15s.; on Tuesday from e64 los. to e63 15s., and on We'd nesdsy f57 vss touched, but after some fluctuations prices fell somewhat and again rose to 266 lbs. On Thursday the price opened at s66 5s. and closed at eS7, and on to-day, Friday, the opening price was e67 los, cash, and the closing price f67 l7s. Sd. sharp cash.
 LKAD.-It IS evident that the highly successful operations in tin and copper have now encouraged the manipulation of lead, and as was the case with tin and copper, London has taken the initiative in this movement Last week the clos ing price in London for Spanish lead was SIP 15s., and it is reported to-day at el5 5s.Gfl5 los, with buyers over. English lesd Is obtainsble at about the same price, but there appears 10 be but little offering. The works in Germany are mostly out of the market, having sold their output for months to come, and we hear that almost the entire pro- duction is absorbed for home consump- ton.
